Fans blast ESPN's Dan Orlovsky for saying Mac Jones won't be a good NFL QB
Alabama is trouncing Arkansas on Saturday afternoon, so the ESPN broadcasters are looking for anything interesting to talk about.
Much to the dismay of Alabama fans, that topic has become QB Mac Jones’s NFL Draft stock. Broadcaster Dan Orlovsky spent a long portion of the second half discussing why he doesn’t think Jones will be a good NFL quarterback.
Naturally, that drew plenty of criticism from Alabama fans on social media. Below, you can see a sampling of some of the Twitter reaction to Orlovsky’s comments:
Funny to listen to Dan Orlovosky, career NFL back-up, pick apart the potential first round pick, Mac Jones, and claim he won’t be a good NFL QB.

Dan Orlovsky’s fav QB is Carson Wentz. He needs to SHUT his mouth about Mac Jones in the NFL. #RollTide pic.twitter.com/npgVG5XVbc

Dan Orlovsky trying to say that Mac Jones won't work in the NFL like he wasn't trying to say Jake Fromm was QB1 during a 3 int game against South Carolina last year

@danorlovsky7 slagging @MacJones_10 on the #Alabama game right now. I'll have to say, if anyone would know what wouldn't work as a QB in the NFL it'd be Dan https://t.co/qSa2ahSBJX

Alabama got a fumble recovery.
I also learned that Mac Jones isn't athletic.

The commentary team has turned mac jones from the heismann favorite to an octogenarian in a rascal scooter with this pointless bs debate

Twenty minutes of Dan Orlovsky devaluing Mac Jones is definitely a real treat. Like, we get it dude. #BAMAvsARK

We get it @danorlovsky7
You’re not a Mac Jones fan.
Good grief.— Brock coogler (@brockcoogler) December 12, 2020

Jones is considered one of the Heisman frontrunners, so his play this season is speaking for itself. Jones will focus on winning a national title first, then he’ll turn his attention to potentially entering the 2021 NFL Draft.
Me: “I sure am glad I won’t have to listen to Gary Danielson”
ESPN:
LOL. Hold my beer.
The only one that is more irritating than Orlovsky is Beth Mowins. With Mowins it is just her voice that is grating, with Orlovsky it is the level of idiocy.
It’s Beth HOWLINGS! Her voice makes me want to run out to the tar and gravel road in front of my house, pull down my pants and drawers, and drag my naked ass up the road! FORTUNATELY for my neighbors, I avoid her broadcasts or QUICKLY turn the channel!
ROFLMAO!!! She is as bad as nails down a real slate blackboard. She is knowledgeable, that is not my complaint. That voice causes severe ear bleeding and animals to stampede.
Well to be honest, when it comes to who will not be successful in the NFL, Dan sees an excellent example every time he looks in a mirror.
I’m hoping Orlovsky is a one year experiment for ESPN. He’s not telegenic, his takes are dumb, and his colleagues seem to hate him. He makes Pat McAfee seem like Keith Jackson.
His comments just seem awkward and out of place..
Where in hell ESPN find this intern bafoon?? Then let him commentate on a Alabama game! Man he really should do high school games instead… It was f**king irritating to listen to this clown go on and on and on about Mac Jones wtf!! I literally muted my tv I couldn’t take it anymore.. ESPN please never ever let this man do another Bama game again EVER! Then next week we get Gary with CBS Smh. The best way to watch a Bama game is mute your tv and listen to play by play with Eli Gold. I’m serious..
We might as well be listening to Danny Kanell. This guy needs to go away.
This is the same guy that accidentally ran out of back of the end zone while trying to pass. He constantly mixed up both teams and players trying to give his expert opinion. To be fair, he didn’t say Jones couldn’t play in the NFL. He said he shouldn’t be a 1st rounder. He said the same thing about Trask.
